The 4200 sq.ft. building on Melrose Avenue is the flagship showroom for Los Angeles ecofashionista Linda Loudermilk. The designer’s philosophy of celebrating elements in nature while flattering the natural movement of the body is carried through in the architecture of the building. Nature is the core of the design in both the retail environment and the fine couture contained within. The project is a showcase for sustainable building systems, products and methods of construction. The two-story showroom serves as a backdrop for the collection. The program consists of retail space at the ground level. A salon for private showings and fittings and executive offices are located at the second level. The rooftop garden is an extension of the landscape. A solar canopy provides shelter atop the deck and power for the building. Environmentally mindful building systems, reclaimed / recycled / rapidly renewable materials and solar technology are some of the components that are used to meet  LEED certification criteria.
